What CPU do I have?

Well at first I thought it was an athlon xp 1600+ palomino, but now when I run aida32 I get this:

Now it is overclocked to 133x11.5 right now and it is stable, but would that change anything?

 

[TheMajor]

why would you do that? higher FSB gives a better performance boost than increasing the multiplier

 

[lazerman]

Because if I go any higher in fsb it get less stable and my memory only supports 266 fsb (pc2100). If anything I'm going to lower my fsb and go higher with the multiplier.

 

[TheMajor]

i would set it back to 5.75 x 267 because 133x11.5 gives you less CPU speed

After running alot of programs like that you will notice they say different than what your actual CPU clock speed is. This is because AMD and Intel do there best to reach the labeled speed but if it's only a few MHz off, they simply round it to the nearest 100MHzth. Another thing to take note of is the "1600+", this is a P-Rating which only explanes its performance compared to an Intel based CPU. AMD uses this so their chips don't look slower than Intel's although their clock speeds are lower than the P-Rating. If your OCing the chip and have changed the multiplyer, you will notice a variation in standard speeds as stated when running a benchmarking product. Hope that explaines it.

maybe its time to build a new pc?

 

[lazerman]

Me? lol I just finished building this yesterday. And crazybeans, I guess I don't get what you are saying.

 

[lazerman]

And this hasn't answered my question, I still don't know what cpu I have.

 

[crazybeans]

Sorry about that, I was telling you about the P-Rating and forgot to mention what yours was. You have an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ that runs at 1533MHz with a 5.75 multiplier. Your processor has a L2 cache of 256Kb running at 1533MHz and a voltage of either 1.5 or 1.6 volts. Your CPU uses 0.13 micron technology and has 37.2M transistors.

Does that answer your question?
